Harsha :(pauses for a while) I learnt this very early in my childhood, "Remember the good, forget the bad.”

With him being a Commentator ,Let me proceed with this next,maybe this is the reason behind why he’s one of d best out there
"To be a commentator,you must have a life outside cricket, too. If cricket is all that you know,then you would not be a great commentator"

I personally like these quotes on Sportsmen/Cricketers
"Among sportsmen are the noble, the diligent and the caring, as there are the callous, the cheats and the criminals"
"The moment you put a deadline on your dream, it becomes a goal."

Ahh how can I not post this being a Cricket fan and what better way can we describe that every innings is special
"Like an author, a cricketer signs his name on every innings he bats or bowls in; indeed for every cricket ball that challenges him on the field"
#HarshaBhogle

Here's one more , not only for cricketers but for every sportsman out there
"Cricketers are made to feel that they are very special. That is okay as long as cricketers realize they are only as good as their last innings."

One on Cricketers and their careers
"Cricket, like all sport, offers glory to few and a lifetime of it to even fewer. For the investment it demands, it offers short careers that end when people in other professions are starting to flourish"

So let me be little biased here ,I will start with few of his lines on @sachin_rt first
"One of the problems you face being Tendulkar is that you are always compared with Tendulkar"
(This applies to every other cricketer say Virat,Smith anyone you name)
#HarshaBhogle #Sachin
"One of the problems you face being Tendulkar is that you are always compared with Tendulkar"
(This applies to every other cricketer say Virat,Smith anyone you name)
#HarshaBhogle #Sachin
This One stays with me forever , many of us can directly relate to his
Harsha on @sachin_rt when he last played an international game , his 200th test match when he's retiring once and for all
“You were a great habit, Sachin“ (That No one complains)
#HarshaBhogle #Sachin

#HarshaBhogle #Sachin
There are many more when @sachin_rt was batting
“There is only one man who can hit better shot than Tendulkar & that’s Tendulkar himself.” When Tendulkar played back2back cover drives in a similar direction during his knock of 122 against Eng in 1996.

#HarshaBhogle #Sachin
Adding few more to the list :
"Touch of class and a stamp of Authority”
On @sachin_rt straight drive v @ImIshant in IPL
‘Open the textbook, go to page 32'
'There's no better sight on the cricket field than watch Tendulkar bat'

#HarshaBhogle #Sachin
This list continues
@sachin_rt playing well & looking very +ve. I think that a couple of 4’s he hit settled the nerves. Don't know about his nerves , I'm talking about the nerves of each & every person in the crowd.
Ahh feeling of all fans in HB words

Few more :
When @sachin_rt hits a straight drive , the world seems all the more beautiful
On One Of Sachin’s Coverdrive That ball has “Off to the boundary , see you later written all over it
”Now this is one way to get him out when he is not ready"

Can't leave out these two below
"Eruption of joy at the fall of an Indian wicket can only mean one thing “
"Long before umpire Nigel Llong gave that out, 50,000 people in the crowd did" ( Shillingford lbw , Sachin' bowling in his 199th Test at Kolkata "

Finishing it off On SRT here with this last one
When GeoffBoycott talks about @sachin_rt saying that he may be a great man but his name is not on the Lords Honors board as he doesn't have a century there- So whose loss is it, Sachin's or the Honors boards?
#HarshaBhogle #Sachin

HB to Dravid (Eng series I think)
“The only man who can save this test match is sitting next to me"
On Dravid's last innings for RR(CLT20 game)
“ In a career that is marked by grace , style & beautiful batsmanship its a slog that has ended his Career”

How can we forget that 2013 IndvAus ODI series,Taylormade pitches for chasing Rohit 200 in Bnglr, Top3 chasing 360 in 43 overs etc
Aus would think that with 350 on the board, 9/10 times they'd win the games, unfortunately, they’re discovering the 10th too often

His love for Bhatia and his slow balls is infinite
Here's One more "He is slow, but has a slower ball on top of that. That ball is so slow that the batsman receiving it won't figure out if it was the previous ball".
